The Party of "No"

Technorati and Me

Technorati is indexing me again! They had to make a code change to fix
the problem with my blog getting stuck in their queue. Kudos to Eric M.
and the guys at
GetSatisfaction.com
where they have "community powered support for Technorati".

Well, they're "sorta, kinda" indexing me anyway. It's on a 24 hour tape
delay or something. So I never get picked up by Memeorandum because they
pull from Technorati and Technorati has stuff I posted yesterday
listed as my latest blog entry. And that's old news to Memeorandum.

Wankers.

Customers of Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield, the state's largest health
insurance company, have faced a rocky transition to Obamacare since the law
went into effect last month.

A combination of glitches on the federal website, the company's new billing
system and the difficult weather resulted in Horizon extending its deadline
for payments originally due Feb. 1.

The carrier's Facebook page first told customers on Jan. 29 that those who
purchased a policy through the federal website, www.healthcare.gov, might not
have received their bills on time. The message urged those whose payments were
due Feb. 1 to pay even if they hadn't received any bill.

In other words, trust us! Send money now, we'll figure out later if it
was enough.

They're blaming the weather. And that gawd-awful Obamacare web site.

Horizon spokesman Tom Vincz said "file transfer issues" from the federal
website left the company with insufficient information to generate an invoice
for those customers who selected a policy but didn't pay on the spot.

The affected customers were those who signed up for coverage that was to
start Feb. 1.

It's almost as if the whole thing is being run by a community organizer with
no actual work experience…
